Tn q RRh u ay Murder,

Anthony Knoll, arrested In Jersey Cit,
on suspicion OF being the Railway mur
derer, was discharged yesterday. In tn,
afternoon, G. IL. Eldrdge, President Of
the Hudson River and Maine Ice Com
pany, viewed the body of the murdered
girl and the clothing, and said 1t was thai
of Mary Cregan, who was domestic 10
his house In Brooklyn. "5he came from
Syracuse three weeks ago. On Wednes.
day of last week she started for her uncle 4
house on Elliot. place, Brooklyn and has
not been seer since. Mr.. Eldridge could
not identity the clothing but is positive
that the girl was his servant. Her trunk
is still at his house. She frequently re-
ceived letters from friend In New Jer.
sey." A loquaci Jus young man, named
John T. Neary, who thought the body
was that of bis sister, but could not give
satisfactory answers" upon examination,
has been locked up.

Dana Talks of Blaine.

We have no doubt that Mr.. Blaine 10
perfectly honest In his inten ton not to
interfere 10 any way with the decision
OF the National Republican Convention
next year. He has once teen the Re.
publican candidate for President, and
has beeD beater; and IL 10 creditable to
his good senpe that he should determine
that, II no IL to run again, It shall be
the unassistad determins ion and act OF
the Republican party itself. We do
not elieve that Mr.. Blaine really de-
sired TO he nominated In 1884, and we
have no idea that he deaires to be nomi.
mated now. At the same time, 1t Is not
to be supposed that he will refuse the
nomination II 1t should be rendered to
him. He has evidently become o very
level headed politician.

WAYS OE MARRYING.
The Inexpensive Elopement Compared With
the Full-Dress Church Wedding.

The inexpensive Elopement Compared With
the Full-Dress Church Wedding.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the diff
ferent modes varying from 81 to $1,000.
The least expensive, and the one seldom
adopted except in eases of elopement,
is that afforded by the Justices office.
There a couple can nc firmly united in
the space Of minute for small sum.
1t is customary for a groom to dress as
he may please when the marriage is to
be performed by a justice, and dress
suit would be sadly out of place in the
musty law-of1ice. The one great advan-
tage OF the justice-shop marriage is its
cheapness.
As some people object to being mar
ried by justice of the peace, prefer
ring the sanction of the church in adj
dition to that of the law, the young
people may visit a parsonage instead of
Justices Office with the same prepara-
ton. The ceremony may be fully as
informal when performed at the min
ister's homo, the only difference being
that not less than So, and, better still,
S. or $40 should be paid for the service,
although there is no fixed sum charged.
The most popular ceremony among peo-
pie who do not class themselves as in
society" and also among many who
do, is u quiet home wedding, where the
bride is attired in a suit of plain white
or q travelling dress, and the groom in
plain black or brown business suit,
where only few friends or relatives
are present. The affair is informal,
perhaps modest supper or lunch being
served after the ceremony is performed,
and the entire expense to the groom
being covered by 500 or less. This is
the most popular wedding ceremony.
and this is the way in which fully twenty
five per cent. of the young people are
married.
Next in point of favor and inexpen-
siveness is the informal church wedding,
being similar in all things except that
the service is performed within the por-
tails of the church. If the affair is
strictly private the bride and groom
may be unsupported, or have brides
maids and groomsmen, as they please.
In the latter case full-dress suits should
be worn, increasing the expense. The
"full-dress wedding" as it may be
called when the ceremony is performed
at home, is next in favor. Elaborate
trousseau, full-dress suits, bridesmaids
and groomsmen, flowers in abundance,
and Il host of invited guests are the
requisites, followed by a reception,
feast, or lunch, as the contracting par
ties may desire.
The seventh and last, and most popu-
, lar, is the full-dress affair performed in
church. Among people who desire to
create stir in society this is the favor
lite. 1t is expensive and in many cases
unsatisfactory Brooklyn Magazine.

An Insect Tramp.

A supposed house-hy parasite (Hypo-
pus muScarum) has been found by a
French naturalist, P. Megnin, to be in
reality no parasite, preying upon the
hy's body, but simply the common
cheese-mite (Tyroglyphus Scio) availing
itself of the first means of transportation
to new sources of food supply. The
creature, with a remarkable power of
adaptation to environment, becomes
greatly changed on attaching itself to
the fly or other animal, but assumes its
original form and multiplies rapidly,
on reaching suitable feeding-grounds.
This discovery explains how fresh cheese
can become infected with mites, even
when carefully placed on shelf away
from all suspected sources of contamin-
ation.-ArkanSa,O Traveller.

A TIGERS BLOW.
Crushing the Skull of an Ok at q Single,
Terrible Blow.

IerrlDle BLOW.
A man-eater which for six months
had been the terror of the neighbor-
hood had been traced down and was
seen to creep into ravine. The
heaters were at once ordered off, as
they could not be of service and might
be charged by the tiger, which had
already been rendered furious by a
wound. Unfortunately, these men are
in the habit of half intoxicating them
selves with opium before driving the
tiger from his refuge, and one of them
who had taken too large dose refused
to escape, and challenged the tiger,
drawing his sword and waving it de-
family. In a moment the animal
sprang upon him, dashed him to the
ground with blow of his paw, and
turned at bay. After u series of des-
perate charges he was killed. The
hunters then went to the assistance Of
the wounded man, but found that he
was past all aid, the lower part of his
face, including both jaws, having been
carried away as if by a cannon-ball.
The terrific effect of the single blow
indicates the power of the limb which
struck it. Had the blow taken effect
few inches higher the whole of the
head would have been carried away.
BY u similar blow tiger has been
known to crush the skull of an OK Sc
completely that when handled the
broken bones felt as if they were loose
in bag. The wonder at this terrific
strength diminishes when the limb is
measured. The tiger which killed the
foolhardy man was by means large
one, measuring nine feet four inches
from the nose to the tip of the tail; yet
the girth of the forearm was two feet
seven inches. The corresponding limb
of very powerful man scarcely ex-
ceeds foot in circumference.
Not until it becomes a man-eater is
the tiger much dreaded, especially in
the case of those natives who do not
possess focks or herds. Indeed, when
an Englishman has offered to kill IT,
ger whose lair was well known he has
been requested not to do so, as the tiger
did no BARN and killed so many deer
that it supplied the neighbors with
meat. The tigress is much more to be
dreaded as a man-eater than the male
animal.-Rev. j. G. Wood, in Good
Words

SHADOWS AND LIGHT.

Over the river, once so fair,
My wondring eyes are set,
To see the trees look cold and bare
Where erst earth's glories met
The greenwood shade, where song of bird
In joyous notes the bosom stirred,
Alas by me no more is heard
SO runs the hearts regret.
Where are the many beauties gone
That cleaned beneath the sun,
Where are the joys that thro' them shone
When summers tints were spunl
They go to crown another year
With leaf as green, and song as cheer.
With thought as fair, and hope as dear
As rhythm e'er begun.
The leaves that grew on yonder trees,
Oh whittier are they fed?
Whose glorieS kissed October's breeze
In wantOn sport o'erheady
They lie beneath December's snow,
breathing new life to earth below;
Whose green from Death doth ever flow
wondrous JOY outspread.
Whence comes the snow, so pure, so fair,
So pulseless and so colby
Whence comes the bitter biting air
That doth the crystals mould?
They come to vest the year in gloom:
They come as Death, to things that bloom;
They come the heralds of the tomb,
When Autumn spills his gold.
So fade the charms that Nature yields,
So wither and decay;
To-day JOY that decks the fields
With tints of beauteous May;
'To-morrows shadows. drear and lone,
Which darken scenes where sunbeams shone,
Until Gods mercy rolls the stone
OF gloom and death away.
Thus youth brings age and winters SHOWS,
Unerring as the years;
Thus fall of leaf brings summers rose
Thro' showers of April tears;
ct mas from nnf 10 "a
Thro' beams of sunshine, cloud and strife,
Till Heaven is gained with glories rife
And Gods fair light appears.
